    Heretic

    ★★★★

    Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East star as two Mormon missionaries who attempt to convert a man (Hugh Grant), who is more dangerous than he seems.

    I won't go into too much detail on why I loved this, to save from spoiling it for potential viewers.

    ★★★★

    Todd Phillips’ follow-up to his 2019 masterpiece Joker, sees Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) facing the consequences of his actions of the previous film in court. No, not a jesters court. Devoid of life and happiness, that frown turns upside down when he meets the alluring and mysterious Lee (Lady Gaga), who inspires him to reclaim his life.

    Joker: Folie a Deux was always going to have the challenge of amounting to the expectations that were heightened by its predecessor, but…
